Wars【C3】______access to water are a rising possibility and the main【C4】______in Africa during the next 25 years could be over this most precious commodity, as countries fight for access to【C5】______resources. "Potential water wars are likely in areas【C6】______rivers and lakes are shared by more than one country," says Mark Evans. Evans predicts that "population growth and economic development will【C7】______nearly one【C8】______two people in Africa living in countries【C9】______water scarcity or【C10】______is known as ’water stress’ within 25 years." Water scarcity is defined as less than 1,000 cubic metres of water available per person per year,【C11】______water stress means less than 1,500 cubic metres of water is available per person per year.

选项
A、participate
B、enter
C、join in
D、join
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。四个选项均可表示“参加,加入”,但participate为不及物动词,需要加介词in后再加宾语;enter表示“参加,加入,成为其中一员”;join in一般指“参加竞赛、娱乐、游戏等活动”;join指“参加(某组织),加入(某处任职),参加到某个人群中去从而成为其中一员”。本句表达的意思是“在早已遭受干旱的13个国家的队伍中,又有12个非洲国家将加入其中”,这与加入某个组织类似,所以选join。
